00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity to see just such terrific action

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: and maybe even see some friends and colleagues like your

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: friends at taking Stock. Bill Stone is here his chief

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: investment strategist p n C Asset Management Group, to talk

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: little tennis and certainly the markets. Welcome back. Thanks for

34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: having me again. Why do you come here open every year?

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, I love tennis. I I competed in tennis

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: through high school and just you know, I really appreciate

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: how hard it is to play at this level. And

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: it is a great venue and it just keeps getting

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: better every year, honestly, so it's an awesome place to

40
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: be better in terms of the food, and better in

41
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: terms of the people who are here, better in terms

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: of you know, I think of it as certainly food

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: is good that you know, the facilities get better. I

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: mean I started coming in the early nineties and not

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: every year, but when I when I work for Salomon

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Brothers right out of school, so I I came here, um,

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's it's way nice there. In

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: terms of friendlier to non total tennis people, it's a

49
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: it's a full entertainment event now, so I think that

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: makes it exciting. I mean I would just love to

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: watch tennis, but not everybody is so tennis crazy. So well,

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: they do seem to have a good business head out

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: here at the U s t A to know what

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: is going to work for the fans, of sponsors and more.

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I think, so yeah, I mean it's great. You know,

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I always do some shopping, so you know there'll be

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: some us open clothes coming home with me as well. Well.

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: The FID will be glad to hear that they want

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: to sumer stuff boost the economy in the second half.

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: They can you know, get a rate hike in or

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: two this year. Uh. In terms of the retractable roof.

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: I just have to ask you. You're a fan, you

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: sat under the roof, how how does it feel? How

64
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: does it sound? How does it seem? I think it's great,

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, because one it lets us still have tennis

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: despite having the rain, and you and I were dying

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: at the heat last year. And for those that don't know,

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: there's air conditioning in there when they close the roof,

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: so it's actually really nice in there. Okay, again, another

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: smart business decision. While we are, while you're watching tennis,

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: I know you've got your your mobile device and you're

72
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: watching the market. Kind of a mixed day because everybody's

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: waiting for the jobs report tomorrow. We did, though, get

74
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: kind of not such a strong read from the big

75
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: three automakers on their latest sales. Now, of course, sales

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: have been very strong from a from an equities stand point,

77
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: from an investment standpoint, How do the automakers look to

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: you in the light of the latest numbers and Ford's

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: head saying pent up demand is gone? Now? Yeah, you know,

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: it's really hard because I think you know, as you

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: point out, you're coming from a high level that I

82
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: think even coming off that level is still a pretty

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: attractive number. Um and I you know, maybe the pin

84
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: up demand is gone, but I would say at least

85
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: when you think about it, and maybe another reason to

86
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: be really watching the number tomorrow is if we keep

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: having job creation, it's hard to imagine the consumer giving

88
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: out right if you have good job creation, decent you know,

89
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: uh gains and wages. Um. You know. Again, usually at

90
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: least in this recovery, certainly at least those have driven spending.

91
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: They haven't necessarily borrowed more consumer spending or consumer credit wise,

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: which is fine. That actually makes it, I think, a

93
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: more durable recovery, albeit slower than some of the more

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: fund recoveries we've had in the past, but some of

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: those don't end a lot quicker. So okay, So the

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Consensus survey for the change in payrolls tomorrow, that's

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: the key number for the Fed, right, hundred and eighty thousand.

98
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: That's the forecast, down from two five thousand in July,

99
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: which is pretty strong. I believe the previous month was

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: two eight seven. August was was very weak. So what

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: what's in the in the stock market right now? Number

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: one in terms of a number, Oh well, I mean

103
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the consensus. I mean, we the

104
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: problem is, I think most people out there would say, well,

105
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: the seasonals usually aren't good on this one, so you

106
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: usually bet under. But then we got a decent ADP yesterday. Um,

107
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think like what you're seeing today is

108
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: even though you got say the I s M manufacturing

109
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: probably giving making people a little more nervous around, uh,

110
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: the economy in general. You know, you're certainly not seeing

111
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: the market have a big sell off, and maybe it's

112
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: partly because some of it. If you get a bad

113
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: number on Friday, it doesn't necessarily mean the economy is

114
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: falling apart, but what it does mean is pretty much

115
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: takes a timber hike off the table for the FED.

116
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: And maybe that just makes people feel okay that you're

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 1: only gonna get Let's assume things kind of continue moving

118
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: on at a decent pace and you get that December

119
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: hike and that's it. Well, it seems that the markets

120
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: have shrugged off stock market anyway, and the bond market

121
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a big reaction to the I s M

122
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: manufacturing number. The Institute for Supply Management, if it's above fifty,

123
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: it shows manufacturing is growing. It was below that is

124
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: starting to contract, and after being at fifty two point

125
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: six in July, the numbers at forty nine point four.

126
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: So stock market just but but doesn't seem to be

127
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: people put too much attention to that one today. No,

128
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: And I think probably just the conflicting number. You do

129
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: get a market p M I number that's still held

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: in better I s M is probably one people watched

131
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: closer um and then I think it's just the other

132
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: data around that says, well, I don't get too crazy

133
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: about one number out of I s M. Even though

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I like watching is M, I think it gives you

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: a good take on things. I think the other side

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: is like high and now we're kind of fading in.

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you watched that I watched

138
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Fed GDP now all the time, and you

139
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: know we faded down to three point two percent there.

140
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we think by the end you end up

141
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: at about a three for this quarter. But still, you know,

142
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: even though you came from a much higher expect you

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: know what, I think it got up to three point

144
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: eight at one point something like that three I'll take

145
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: rights that the averaging about one percent you every year

146
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: for about three quarters. That would be good. So as

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: for the stock market, bill Stone, what's your view about

148
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: where it heads from here? Treading water indefinitely or will

149
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: is there something that will give the people who are

150
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: bullish the excuse for the reason to say time to buy.

151
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: This thing's pushing higher. Um, I think I'm hopeful that

152
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna see that. But I think part of what's

153
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: taken as a bit higher now. Obviously we're treading water

154
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: here a little bit and down a little bit lately anyway, Um,

155
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: but I think you're going to see earnings start to

156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: pick up because you're you know, we're now anniversary the

157
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: really ugly oil moves, so the headline won't look as bad.

158
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: But then you're seeing a it up in areas like technology,

159
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: and I think you saw at least last night, Look,

160
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 1: technology was a good h it was a good sector

161
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: today in fact even Um. I think why you see

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: such a cross current out in the market is some

163
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: of the sectors that are more interest rate sensitive have

164
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: been suffering lately, so like the utilities and the telecoms.

165
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: That was our strength before. So we're really seeing a

166
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: bit of a rotation. I'm hoping anyway to some of

167
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: the more economically sensitive areas. And I think you're seeing

168
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: some good news, you know, like you said, the eyes

169
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: and manufacturing wasn't so good today here in the US,

170
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: But we got great news out of the UK. You know,

171
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: it's snap back phenomenally. We got a better number out

172
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: of China. Not that it's completely turned the corner, um,

173
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: but at least you can say, uh, you know it it

174
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: as always, well, the US was the really strong one

175
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and we were worried about everybody else. Um, maybe we're

176
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: having a little lift here in some of these other places. Well,

177
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: of course, the Brexit just doesn't seem to have taken

178
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: a bite out of the UK economy as much as

179
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: people thought. On the other hand, their central Bank chief

180
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Markcarni did promise to be aggressive and made that restored

181
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: some confidence. So in terms of investment strategy, you are, uh,

182
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: tech doing reasonably well. You can see earnings picking up.

183
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: So how do you play it? What? What industries? What sectors?

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Are you still looking at dividends? Are you looking at growth? Momentum? Value? Where?

185
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: What? What What do you what? What is your team saying money? Yes,

186
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: I gave you the ones that we really do like technology.

187
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: We actually just added more to technology yesterday, So we

188
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: do like that space. Um, we like the financials. I

189
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: think you're underneath it. It's going to be a slow

190
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: move up in interest rates, but you've seen some help

191
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: from that side, at least recently. Of course, the financials

192
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: ones we've liked for a while. It's been a long

193
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: time coming. And you know, I think the valuation is good.

194
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: There may be very good if in fact we get

195
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: some decent numbers when you look at financials. Are you

196
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: talking some of the big money center banks? Are you

197
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: talking regionals? What where do you look to find the

198
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: best value. Yeah, I'm gonna say probably mostly the more

199
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: the more regional banks, only because uh, you know, when

200
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: you get into the money centers, you're talking more trading

201
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: type of thing. I'm I'm thinking just more lending, and

202
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: certainly some of the money centers you're gonna get lenny exposure. UM.

203
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't have a good view on whether necessarily you're

204
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna see trading while you pick up Okay, tennis, who

205
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: are you? Who are you? Who? You had to capping

206
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: on the men's side too, do you know what? You know?

207
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: We talked about this a little bit last year. I'm

208
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm voting for Djokovic. If Federer was here,

209
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: I would say him, But I'm gonna say Djokovic because

210
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: he's coached by my one time twin Boors Becker so

211
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: and my hero. So I have to go with that.

212
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Anybody can topple Serena this year. Do you think on

213
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: the women's side, Uh, certainly possible. But I obviously I

214
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: think she has to be the favorite. Yeah, yeah, well

215
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: she always is. Yes, that's true. As long as she's playing.

216
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: I think he's always gonna be the favorite with good reason.

217
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: He's about as far as I can remember. Bill Stone,
